The Zero Conditional
We can make a zero conditional sentence with two present simple (Pr.S) verbs
(one in the 'if clause' and one in the 'main clause'):
If + present simple, .... present simple.
This conditional is used when the result will always happen.
So, if water reaches 100 degrees, it always boils. It's a fact. I'm talking in general,
not about one particular situation. The result of the 'if clause' is always the main
clause. The 'if' in this conditional can usually be replaced by 'when' without
changing the meaning. For example: When water reaches 100 degrees, it boils.
(It is always true, there can't be a different result sometimes). If I eat peanuts, I
Am sick. (This is true only for me, maybe, not for everyone, but it's still true that
I'm sick every time I eat peanuts).
Here are some more examples:
If people eat too much, they get fat. If you touch a fire, you get burned.
People die if they don't eat. You get water if you mix hydrogen and oxygen.
Snakes bite if they are scared. If babies are hungry, they cry
